Here is your answer dear and please mark me as the brainliest......
Explanation:
As I walked into the premises of the Methodist Boys Secondary School KL (MBSSKL), I could not help but feel a little intimidated. I was about to meet the school principal and all thoughts of how school principals were portrayed during my schooling days came seeping in.
As I entered the office, I passed by a man who was speaking to two people. He had a normal, down-to-earth demeanour and appeared friendlty. Imagine my surprise when I was intorduced to this same man a while later – Wong Chee Kheon, the principal of MBSSKL. I had expected to see a stern-looking person.
Wong is a Penangite who graduated in Science and Education from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Upon graduation, he worked as a mathematics teacher for six years before taking up an offer as a school inspector with the Education Ministry. This federal inspectorate position took up another 10 years of his career.
This was also when he received a scholarship to do his postgraduate studies in Universiti Malaya. In 1998, he went on to be a part of the Smart School Project team. In 2003, his stint as a principal began when he was selected principal of SMK Bandar Baru Sri Petaling in Kuala Lumpur. He was there for two years before being posted to MBSSKL.My day starts at 7.05am. I will be at the main entrance of the school where I greet the students and teachers. It is not always about welcoming though as I also correct the students on their attire. For example, shirt that is not tucked in, no school badge or name tag, etc. I may also correct them on their manners as we believe students should respond when they are being greeted.
I believe that a leader should set an example to the whole organisation thus being at the main entrance before the school bell rings, helps me make contact with my teachers and students. It also makes an impact on teachers who come late,” says Wong.After the bell rings at 7.20am, assembly takes place. Assembly is held every day but the main one is on Monday which is in this order: Singing of the national anthem, the state anthem, the school song in Bahasa Malaysia, the Rukunegara pledge, announcements by a duty prefect, book review by a librarian, giving away of prizes for competitions won, speech by the headmaster and finally the school song in English.
His speech usually relates to matters that can inspire the students. On other days, announcements are made by the duty prefect. Teachers and the headmaster may also make announcements if necessary.
After the assembly, the students start dispersing to their classes. This time is used by Wong to give a short briefing to his teachers. He gives the general briefing and assigns four of his vice principals to handle briefings on their areas.
“After that I start on the first of my series of rounds. I strongly believe in ‘management by walking about’. It is all about making your presence felt at the ground level. It helps you know what is happening in the school. My rounds cover every nook and corner of the school. I will also usually sit at the back of one of the classes during my rounds and do some simple paperwork which requires just my signature whilst monitoring the teachers and students.”School is over at 2pm. He tackles more of his paperwork and attends meetings with teachers and his vice-principals. He then walks around the school to observe the co-curricular activities that are taking place. Once his work is settled and if there are no visitors, Wong bids the school farewell for the day. Normally this is way after 5pm.
“Most of the time, I head home way after 5pm but if there are any parent teacher association or alumni meetings scheduled, I stay on till they are finished, which sometimes can be well after 8pm,” explains the principal. Wong firmly believes that a principal has to manage multi-tasking effectively and execute profound leadership qualities in order to ensure a systematic and well-run school.
